Pres Trump shamelessly blames #WHO at a time when he praised China and dismissed the virus as nothing to worry about. This is no time for hypocrisy, rewriting history, and evading responsibility. We need to work together to combat the greatest global health threat in a century.
On 1/24, Pres Trump said “China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The U.S. greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well.” Now he cuts funds for #WHO for not criticizing China’s lack of transparency.
The White House criticized #WHO Dir Gen for praising China’s leadership on 1/22. On 1/24, Pres. Trump THANKED Pres Xi for his leadership.
The White House criticized #WHO Dir Gen on 1/23 for not declaring an international health emergency. On 1/22, Pres Trump said “we have it totally under control. . . It’s going to be just fine."
